Our thoughts and prayers go out to George's lovely wife Luann and his family. He was a great American and served us well. He will certainly be an asset to heaven. We ask God to watch out for his family in the days ahead. We live in Hendersonville, N.C. now because of my health . We were with all of you in spirit these last few days. God bless you as you go forward in life.

I served with George in Viet Nam. George was a good friend and a truly sweet man. He couldn't wait to get back to the "holler" and his sweetheart, Luann. George was a good soldier, a stand up guy. The world is a poorer place for his passing.
